> Plus employees will have to opt in? If a company policy says you have to opt in, not opting in means you're breaching the policy and might get fired. Entirely legal in at-will employment places, but potentially not in places with better worker protections. Saying that, I just got announcement from my employer they will not be turning it on for now.
Employees need to join a union
Here's the actual "roadmap" feature (scroll to the bottom where the filtered list is): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?search... The actual feature brief is: "When users connect to their organization's Wi-Fi, Teams will soon be able to automatically update their work location to reflect the building they're working from. This feature will be off by default. Tenant admins will decide whether to e…
I think its cool, so I can who is in the office for lunch. Currently I manually check device IPs.
Is there anything more than the Wifi SSID stuff below?
> If you connect to a Wi-Fi network that isn't your company's, Teams will simply display the name of that network. So if you decide to take a "working lunch" and connect to "Starbucks_Guest_WiFi", your boss sees it instantly. You can’t hide behind a generic "Remote" status anymore.
So how exactly does this work? It'd be pretty trivial setup my access point to provide a work SSID? How much access does Teams really have to get info to discern your location?
This article is like 300 words. Would it have killed them to not generate it using AI?
Maybe this will change one day but at the current moment this is an immediate turnoff. It's like someone trying to show you their project day 1 and it's a page filled with ads and a newsletter popup. You may have good reasons to do that but it doesn't instill a sense of trust and quality.

Ultimately if you are at the type of company which practices presenteeism, then the technology used is immaterial
It's so pathetic that people actually put up with this. There are so many ways to stop that tracking from working and no, your boss doesn't have the right to track you.
If you install corporate teams on your personal device, you are part of the problem.
You must request a device for that and never mix personal and professional stuff.

This feels like a much better feature than “they can track your realtime location from the mobile app” as implied in the article? Plus employees will have to opt in? The tracking is still gross, but limited to opt-in on office WiFi seems a lot less dramatic of a headline, especially given the main concern people have is work from home

>If you decide to take a "working lunch" and connect to "Starbucks_Guest_WiFi", your boss sees it instantly Can't you just rename your home wifi SSID to be whatever your Work wifi is called?
The roadmap description is not really specific enough to either back up what the article is saying or describe if this approach would/wouldn't do anything, so I'm wondering the same kinds of things. If I were to try to implement the given task description, I'd start with assuming this would need to be "Enterprise gives an exports of BSSIDs and locations, Teams uses that table to set the location when you connect to y…
Maybe the enterprise exports a table of AP MAC addresses, mapped to locations. It could be the SSID stuff is just a way to spy on what non-office location you were at.
FTA > Remember when you could text Dave from the office to turn your PC on because you were stuck in traffic? I honestly don't. This was a thing? Why? > So if you decide to take a "working lunch" and connect to "Starbucks_Guest_WiFi", your boss sees it instantly. I would have a lot of fun with "creative" names for my Wi-fi network.
I think they would have thought of that and are likely using MAC addresses and a lookup table tied up Active Server, etc. Yes, MAC addresses can be spoofed, but that isn't going to be what most employees will do.
